No Surprise Here

A brief AmericanThinker piece reports a broken plot on Spain by AlQueda. The punchline of course is what most on the right plainly understand, and about which few on the left, particularly the Dem candidates, have the slightest clue: dealing with terrorists. Why would they again attack Spain after Spain withdrew its troops from Iraq?

Let's Try This Again

My post below entitled "Don't Tell ME What To Do" turned into another debate on homosexual rights. Not what I had hoped for it. So this thread is strictly to deal with the subject of the alleged attempts of Christians to control. I don't feel such allegations are warranted in the least. Thus, I offer the chance for any to relate anything that might serve as an example.

It's Like I Was Sayin'

This piece from American Thinker echoes perfectly what I've been saying all along. About seven years younger than the author, I recall a hippy chick on the school newspaper lamenting the principle's blocking of ads for abortion clinics in the periodical. Always the last to know, it was then I had confirmed exactly what an abortion was, though I had suspicions prior. I could not believe such things were considered by good people ("good" being a relative term). And though the notion of "bad girls" had already begun changing drastically (early '70s), I knew of no one who had had the procedure. Considering all that has come along since in the realm of human sexuality in America (and the world), the heinous quality of the Roe v Wade decision has grown by magnitudes. Lord have mercy on us.

Another Heathen Denier

I may not have a science degree. I may not understand all that can be found in a typical peer-reviewed paper. There is much with which I could not keep up in discussions with intellectuals well versed in global warming details. But I do know that intelligent people from many disciplines of science have serious problems with the man-made global warming alarmists. Here is yet another example. If Geoffrey can pocket his disdain for my distasteful manner, perhaps he and his friend would like to show how this piece is a piece of, uh, something distasteful. For me, I'll have to re-read it a few more times, what with my lack of scientific understanding and all.

War? What War?

The title of this post is from today's AmericanThinker. I totally agree with the sentiments of the piece and it can be found here. It also doubles as another test post as I try another hyperlink exercise. I hope it works.

In any case, I think the piece is a fair warning for those who have placed the war on a lower place on their list of important things to consider when selecting a candidate. Talk now is of the economy being at the top of the list. (Much further down than second place for Dems. That's because they're goofy.) The fight against the fanatics who see us as targets is ongoing despite the good news from Iraq. What kind of catastrophe must they visit upon us here that will remind the nation of that fact?

Duncan's Done

Too bad. Too bad also that Thompson didn't do better in S. Carolina. Someday we will have a conservative that can articulate conservative principles and ideals in a manner that even many of the looney left can understand. Until then, we have to go with cheap imitations. Moderates like McCain are no help to the nation in the long haul. Just a step or two above the average Democrat. We have to do better. We have to jump hard on those who think they understand what conservatism is all about and then show by their distorted rhetoric that they have no idea.

Still, when crunch time comes, and some form of "conservative lite" is the party nominee, I will support him. There is not one Dem running that is worthy of the presidency, and this country deserves far better than what the Dems would do to America.
